Luyện nghe bài hát The Great Hank

Then was the time
I saw the Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia,
and he was all dressed up in drag
From his rose red lips to his rhinestone hips he
out song song as he drank from a brown paper bag
And the songs he sang of and pain,
so pure perfect reflections of imperfections,
it damn choked me up
But the rest of the show, was kind of
And then woke me up

Later on the Astros were silently beating the living
out of Cincinnati on the TV
and a little to the left of the Hank Williams' head
As a busty blonde waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got'
and laughingly "I thought you were dead"
The balls cracked as he tilted his head back
and told her how he had been a big star but now country music was full of
He sat there, in the TV
streaked his cheeks

When I was only sixteen old I went from Houston to Abilene
with a spunky handsome woman in a Volkswagen Bug
She was with some kids all her own,
a committment-free divorcee, and I was a man in
We had only one 8-track tape but it was of the great
Hank Williams and we in two-part harmony
"Hey good lookin', about cookin'
Something up me"

Back at the bar they were last call
so I gave the a credit card to pay up my tab
The TV was turned off and the was dark
and the great Williams was gone so I asked her to call me a cab
She said if you I can give you a ride,
so there we were out the and into the city of brotherly love
Into the night, out of
In a VW Bug
